The church is of a significant size, 48 meters long by 15 wide. It consists of an imposing main nave, not only by its dimensions but because it is surmounted by a frame in the form of an overturned ship and floored with painted staves. This very interesting framework is therefore not visible except by its tie rods and punches. The nave is flanked by eight chapels, four to the north which are integrated into the nave, and four to the south which constitute as many side aedicules covered with a clean roof.
The choir is extended by a five-sided apse (3), lit by narrow windows and, on the outskirts, by a gallery which serves the sacristy, which dates from the 12th century but fits in well with the whole. All windows have stained glass.
The facade consists of a steeple-porch quite remarkable for its upward movement and the richness of its vocabulary. Between the buttresses and on each of them have been fitted out niches including a beautiful statuary of Jesus and the Evangelists.
Inside, in addition to the painted parquet of the frame, which is in good condition, a series of objects attracts attention: the baptismal font, altars, sculptures and paintings in the various chapels.

Bellême

Highlight • Settlement

In the heart of Perche, Bellême, a medieval village, is full of charm. Its location, on a hill, and its proximity to the forest that bears its name, make it a village integrated into the landscape. This of course reinforces its fine reputation.

Étang de la Herse

Highlight • Lake

Surrounded by trees, this lake is most beautiful in autumn, when the yellow-orange hues reflect off the surface of the lake. But this lake has not always been like this. From a marshy pond, it was developed at the end of the 18th century. A great place to take a break from your run, but just for a while.
